Posted in march n not one reply? Breeders forum nearly extinct too?

As my vet pointed out he can slip them out while a puppy is young, to operate on a seven month old cavalier as one vet did, not knowing my vet had already thoroughly checked her is nothing short of criminal. Then her new owner tried to make me pay for the surgery, never even contacted me prior or she would have learned that she had been thoroughly vet checked before I sold her, she was robbed, the poor puppy was robbed of the right to an arthritic free middle age. He had removed her cartlidge down to bone

The problem is the ankc's have rolled over to the animal rights mobs, the rules they have made were never done on the advice of repro expert vets. Be careful we are being monitored on all fronts By saying this will probably get me another letter in the mail warning me I have made a criticism of the ankc and have received one warning letter this year . been a member since 1978 this is the first one I have received, even though for decades I kept saying, select for health over show fashion since 1979. Fell on deaf ears until the screening of "Pedigree Dogs Exposed" the writing was on the wall for decades, no one took any notice. Today we have no rights anymore, its toe the party line or else. Even if you don't know what is or isn't allowed either apparently? Mind you there was no information as to what or where, whatever I said had occurred? Or any information to advise me how many transgressions in future will get me kicked out. Or even what is banned from saying? Didn't even bother to tell me what I had said was the cause of the first warning. Big brother is watching. we are no longer members of an organisation that we have any control or rights to question big brother, that letter I received proved that. How many of you are aware that a recent board meeting decided all members who bred ten litters or more last year will be inspected? no routine checking of all members, just target one group. I was astounded to learn how few of the 33,341.00 australia wide members actually breed ten litters or more. Only 86 Breeders AUSTRALIA WIDE ( 1.3%) had more than 10 Litters I think I posted it somewhere but forget where. food for thought keep this up and there will be so few purebred dogs IN TEN YEARS maybe less, will qualify for the endangered lists very soon http://ankc.org.au/media/6598/a-forensic-view-of-puppy-breeding-in-australiav4.pdf

thanks for that, can add sheepskin to the list, a friends dog stopped pooping and eating, vet discovered his stomach and an awful lot of his intestines were full of wool. he had pulled the wool out of a sheepskin and ate????? it. totally blocked forget what the bill was for opening him up and pulling out all that impacted wool out. but it was a big bill

i love them, massage bliss

Love greyhounds, so many are natural born lounge lizards. The catch with TB'S is any with St Simon 's temprement are only fit for racing and dangerous even for their riders for that, as one writer of the time said, when he became a leading sire his progeny were so hot, their riders had difficulty keeping their mount on the track, but when successful were so fast invariably won. Sovrango, sostunuto and Village square progeny were noted for this, I owned Darmack who was so hot the only race he deigned to finish broke the track record at Wyong, I bred Garthowen boy, so hot although rugged from birth was still hard to rug as a yearling, ran in terror from leaves on a windy day, won many races though after I scotched the plan to make a show hack of him as I had planned, thinking it was being trained for racing that fried their brain, he proved that theory wrong in spades

A baby became very ill and the hospital worked out it was oleander, when her bedroom was examined they discovered oleander pollen on the window sill, the marks of her fingers could be seen where she had played with it and must have sucked her fingers, so all parts are poisonious, the pollen of Paterson curse is too they have found the toxin in the honey, few know that, although Patterson's curse like fireweed is accumulative unlike oleander one dose of can kill

Ah goats, they can be guaranteed to eat the plants u value n not touch the weeds you would be pleased if they eradicated. Came to the conclusion their aim in life is to so enrage you you strangle them with your bare hands, while they look at you lovingly think the intention is so you feel guilty for the rest of your life As for drench resistant worms, they seem to all carry them so constantly changing drenches to keep them safe from the mongrel worms Anglo Nubian are the worst for that, sweetest most affectionate worm magnets on the planet

My vet once made the comment, "their gradation certificate is their permission to now learn at your and your animals expense" After I had told him what a newly employed locum had told me when he ignored my request to only vaccinate my chihuahua puppies with half a ml of the vaccine not the full ml. He then gave all four the full dose and told me any that cannot tolerate the recommended dose are better off dead as it culls the weak from the gene pool I asked him, "what about collies and Murry grey cattle? Many of them are ivamec intolerant, his solution, dose them all n eliminate all the susceptible. As I recall the problem came to light when a herd was dosed and next morning only two were still alive! Considering a great Dane puppy weighing twenty times more still only gets one ml, that's idiotic. Three were dead before I arrived home, the fourth survived 13 days as her immune system n internal organs shut down, their mum's last and only litter of beautiful bitch puppies Can hope fate culled him from the gene pool too. He was fired but little compensation

other killers are poinsettia, daffodil bulbs, Daphne plant surprisingly, avacado leaves

Google Leon Mills ex public procecutor's recommendations to parliament, that was 2010. Its even in the Hansard, as for the politicians actually paying any attention or implementing his recommendations. Don't hold your breath, something is seriously rotten in our politicians Found that link http://forum.cyberhorse.com.au/forums/showthread.php?102400-Letter-by-Leon-Mills-submitted-to-Parliament-re-RSPCA

Oleander is a killer one and a half leaves, even dead and dried will kill a horse, as is any plant that exudes white sap. Can't remember the symptoms, but only chance of saving them is multiple blood replacement until out of the system and can still die

your welcome to post them

I heard there was to be one on Saturday between 2 and 5 re animal rights dictating animal welfare or something along that line. Really wanted to attend but had to help a friend whose mum was sick. Any news what emerged? Any posatives achieved?

As one exhibitor told me decades ago, " I will not keep a hernia free pup if it's herniated littermate is superior conformation, it's not listed as a disqualification in the standard. I doubt you will be able to find a hernia free pup within 12 years. ". That was a few years before "pedigree dogs exposed" hit the airwaves. Scissor bite for your breed is preferred but is not listed as disqualification ditto for many breeds, I have seen many champions with undershot or level bite yet still awarded their challenge certificate because they are excellent in every other department. Its a case of assessing all the dog, the whole picture, not just one point alone. everyone has different priorities, for me hernias versus undershot? I know my priorities are very different to the breeder I had that conversation with. The perfect specimen hasn't been born, nothing is perfect

exactly

yes in fact in quite a few breeds for example shih tzu they don't want a scissor bite, they want just what she is displaying, so its not going to affect her, if thats any help to alleviate your worrys on that score, one of nancys that began to go in front of her top teeth took to pushing her thumb against bottom teeth each morning and night so they stopped leaning forward and began to straighten, bit like the dentist does when putting braces on teeth and her bottom teeth went back into alignment behind the front teeth again so back to scissor bite "Mouth: Wide, slightly undershot or level. Lips level." its all in the eye of the beholder the dog couldn't care a jot

Friend had a pup that the bottom teeth began to come forward, turned out she loved playing tug of war, the pulling was suspected to be a contributing factor, stopped the game and scissor bite returned, many change bite as the bones grew as top n bottom don't grow at same rates doesn't help

Many dogs, cats n horses pace instead of walking and trotting. Camels pace as do many donkeys and just to make it more confusing, they can amble, so four beat gait, of hind, offfore, near hind, near fore. The ambler is incredibly smooth to ride, the literally glide. Many walking race winners are actually ambling not walking because it's far easier to go faster ambling, a good ambler and pacer (both feet on the same side hit the ground together) go as fast as a canter and gallop Many people do not even realise the difference There was an Arabian stallion won championships in the 1960's ie between 1966/1970's he never trotted he ambled, few realised it, it's genetic, a DNA marker has now been identified in horses so can show now if the carry what is now called the gaitkeeper gene, two copies they will never trot

Have noticed an awful lot of dog pace naturally, across all breeds, don't even walk, pace at walking and running speeds

The vaccine industry is pretty cavalier too, rang the manufacturer of a c3 after 8 of ten chihuahua puppies died after their first vaccination, to be told the 'new' formula was the best on the market for protection. Considering two weeks later the remaining two also died, due my vet said their immune system broke down. None of them was ever going to get any diseases all right. The chap I spoke to told me their immune system was obviously weak and better culled anyway. Some years later had 9 rag doll kittens vaccinated, next morning all were dead, all the vet could repeat was"never happened before, they must have been unwell already" totally different vet. Six months later a friend got a job there and discovered a contaminated batch had killed over 300 cats before enough vets had notified them of the unexplained deaths, and there was a recall of what was left of that batch, I for one was never told a faulty batch killed my kittens, nor compensation of even the hundreds I had paid for their deaths instead of the protection they were supposed to have received. If the vet doesn't stock canvac I walk back out now. No other brand do I trust anymore

A friend has had them for decades, wasn't interested in showing, were very healthy not sure if she is still breeding though

She is great company so lucky to have met her, So much Knowledge to share, we even found a blue tongue today. now safely relocated to the garden.
